Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and it looks like
0:04
the Biden administration, or at least the campaign, they want to do that censorship
0:09
game again, like they did in 2020, and they might get their way
0:14
Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow
0:23
You guys remember the 2020 presidential campaign, right? The Hunter Biden laptop that was suppressed basically on every social media site in the
0:31
world, every internet site, couldn't report on it, couldn't talk about it
0:36
It was struck down. It wasn't because social media companies were conspiring to help get Biden elected
0:42
It's because the government interfered and said, no, no, no, this is disinformation
0:46
No, you can't put this up. You can't do this. This is wrong
0:51
Well, it turned out it was right. It wasn't Russian disinformation. It was true
0:55
And the Biden campaign, they want to run that same playbook now
1:00
I will agree that the video they're talking about here, which is Joe Biden appears to
1:06
be wandering off and giving a thumbs up to nobody, that the RNC posted, is doctored
1:12
It's edited. It's edited to make Joe Biden seem like he's lost, which you don't have to do
1:18
You can get real videos, and the man is pretty apparently lost
1:24
But they edited this video in such a way that it looks like that. What he was actually doing in the video, I'll let you know, he was giving a thumbs up to
1:31
some skydivers. And if you watch the actual real video, you can see the skydivers
1:36
So yeah, what they did was not cool. And I don't mind putting community notes on it like they do on X, which used to be called Twitter
1:44
I don't mind that at all. I don't mind if YouTube puts a little thing that says, hey, this is not actually what happened
1:49
That's fine, too. But what this campaign aid is talking about, again, is let's censor this stuff so people
1:55
don't see it at all. And that just leads to more censorship, because when you censor things that are fake, OK
2:02
But inevitably what happens is real things get caught in that net, and the social media
2:07
companies are afraid. They don't want to get sued. They don't want to get in trouble. So they start censoring a lot of things so that they don't get in any trouble
2:14
They know the playbook. They played it in 2020. They're trying to play it again
2:18
Let's take a look at this and then give me your comments. Let me know what you think about it
2:22
Disinformation is alive and well. We have to use surrogates and voices across the country to combat this and make it clear
2:28
that not only do we not play this game, but to your point, President Biden was out there
2:34
literally representing America at the G7, saluting our troops, doing what he does as
2:40
president of the United States. And look, we're going to see more of this. I mean, this is just the reality of campaigning in 2024
2:46
So we have to combat that disinformation. We have to hit it hard when it happens and make it clear that these are dirty tactics
2:53
that MAGA Republicans are using because they can't run on the issues, Lamar
2:57
They have to run. They have to use these dirty tactics like this because they are not right with Americans
3:01
on the issues. So we're going to see more of this. We're going to do what we can to combat it
3:05
But it does take the voices of surrogates across the country. It does take the media to call it out
3:11
It does take social media platforms where a lot of Americans are getting their information
3:16
to point it out as well
